I"m sorry, I am not familiar with Potter Barn. But have been very satisfied with the KidKraft Laundry and play kitchen sets. I am now considering the purchase of a KidKraft doll house.

I returned it because it was very cheaply made. Don't waste your money. Pottery Barn better choice hands down.

My daughter is only 18 months, but I have had many friends with this kitchen and their kids used it from 1 year to around 6! It's very sturdy, and because it has so many more details than a lot of the kitchens (microwave, fridge/freezer, oven, cabinet and stove) it makes for more realistic play for older kids. My 5 year old niece loves playing with ours when she is over. Heck, I love playing with it! I definitely think you'd get at least a couple years of use. Plus, it's pretty beastly, so you could probably resell it after that for a pretty good return if it is in good condition.

Lego is a much better/sturdier brand than Mega. For the really little ones, the huge Mega Bloks are good, but when they're in the preschooler age, Duplos seem to be a lot better.

I love this kitchen set and have had it for 3 years. Still a hit with my granddaughter. . . .I have never seen another set that measures up to this one. Having said that. . I still do think you need to purchase some additional things. . . . We bought a better set of dishes that had plates, bowls, cups, forks, spoons, and knives in four different colors. . .I didn't like the beige set that came with the kitchen. Also we bought more food and a basket of vegetables and fruits. . . she loves to play grocery store and this has been a good addition.

I have a couple of the basic sets as well as the construction set. The more sets they have the more they can make. I recommend starting with the basic set and see how they like it and build from there. My grandchildren 3-13 all love it!

As I recall I ordered the Gourmet Kitchen Starter set separately. The set compliments the slots and is well made. We really love this kitchen. It is small but perfect for toddler age. Here is the link: Hape - Playfully Delicious - Gourmet Kitchen Starter Play Set

Yes. This is the cutest kitchen. Bought for my granddaughter when she turned 3. She loves it.

Hi, Chet! I think the set with wheels is great for toddler boys. As your child gets bigger, you may want to add to the Magna-tile collection because they start to really enjoy building big structures and towers. As a beginning set, though, the smaller one with wheels is fun!

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older. My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old.

Hi, yes I did have a good experience. I wanted something gender neutral for my son and he play with this all the time. Full disclosure, the stairs never quite fit right and I heard from other reviews that the cloth that makes up the yard didn't always fit snug. But my son didn't care about those things. It's been about a year later since I bought it and he still plays with it and it has just enough furniture and things to make it a "house". I would recommend. He's 3 now and was 2 when I got it.

My nieces enjoy rebuilding their set in different ways (not following the plan on the box). They have been building and rebuilding for months. They don't have this set, they have the tree house set which has only about 400 pcs. This set has many more pieces.

Not enough benefit to merit the price difference. The children might be able to see into the structures they build, so if they have created a garage, for example, they might be able to see the car inside. Howeverthisis the 2nd set I've bought and both boys (ages 5 and 6) love the solids!

I think they are pretty much the same. I have girls and boys, so I went with Magformers because we like the sets that have wheels and I couldn't find that with magna tiles, though maybe they make them now, I'm not sure. The sets are small, but if you get a few and add them together, they are like magic. My parents just gave a big set to them for Christmas because no matter how many we get, they keep building bigger creations and want more. My kids (ages 3 - 10) love them and when friends come, they usually run right for the Magformers.

I don't know. I imagine so but the house my kids use is from another play set.

Yes, but it depends on the size of the fisher price dollhouse??? I would personally go for the Melissa & Doug wooden version it looks better

It depends on the 4-5 year old. My son who just turned 5 can build the 8+ sets without much assistance. He didn't find the juniors sets very exciting at all, we tried those when he was 4. He prefers the themed sets (lego movie/star wars/mixels) over the simple juniors one. As a general rule he can do the regular sets with less than 300(maybe 400) pieces on his own, and requires slight assistance with ones that have more.

Yes, I bought both the pots & pans and the Kidcraft kitchen for Christmas 2013, and they go together perfectly. She is still playing with it everyday since Christmas almost 3 months later!!!
